[MM-MALTS-L] Still here

[ron]

Glad the list is still alive if not kicking much. Pity I have to confess ignorance so soon: what does Dunlop have to do with Mackintyre descent? (Apologies if I am ruining a joke by asking it to be explained to me).

Here's a malt whisky question: not easy to pair malts with food at the best of times, but how about recommendations for suitable malt whiskies for with Indian food. I ask because I am currently helping to run an Indian restaurant and I want to develop the malts range we have, also bevause I have a friend here in Rome running 'whisky wine and words' which pairs whiskies with Italian food (mainly) and I want to interest her in our restaurant.
